Oip Pump Pick Up

Just in case you guys think I fell asleep and haven't touched my engine here's an up-date: Now the %$#@#$% oil pump pick up hits the bottom of the pan. Time to alter the pick up tube angle..... :cry:

It's a melling stock volume pump with a MP pick up living inside a Milodon pan. The pick up holds the pan away from the block rails about 3/16"

My guess is to measure the drop and heat up the tube w/ a torch and gently tweak the tube up.

<sigh....> I hope the weather holds up. I need a break! Englishtown tomorrow for the nostalgia drags! Now THAT'S what I need!
